A BILL To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to make certain changes in the treatment works construction program under such Act

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That subsections (b) and (c) of section 6 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act are amended to read as follows:

"(b) Federal grants under this section shall be subject to the following limitations: (1) No grant shall be made for any project pursuant to this section unless such project shall have been approved by the appropriate State water pollution control agency or agencies and by the Secretary and unless such project is included in a comprehensive program developed pursuant to this Act; (2) no grant shall be made for any project in an amount exceeding 30 per centum of the estimated reasonable cost thereof as determined by the Secretary: Provided, That the grantee agrees to pay the remaining cost: Provided further, That, in the case of a project which will serve more than one municipality the Secretary shall, on such basis as he determines to be reasonable and equitable, allocate to each municipality to be served by such project its share of the estimated reasonable costs of such project, and shall then apply the limitation provided in this clause (2) to each such share as if it were a separate project to determine the maximum amount of any grant which could be made under this section with respect to each such share; (3) no grant shall be made for any project under this section until the applicant has made provision satisfactory to the Secretary for assuring proper and efficient operation and maintenance of the treatment works after completion of the construction thereof; and (4) no grants shall be made for any project under this section unless such project is in conformity with the State water pollution control plan submitted pursuant to the provisions of section 5 and has been certified by the State water pollution control agency (A) as entitled to priority over other eligible projects on the basis of financial as well as water pollution control needs, or (B) for reimbursement pursuant to subsection (c).

"(c) In determining the desirability of projects for treatment works and of approving Federal financial aid in connection therewith, consideration shall be given by the Secretary to the public benefits to be derived by the construction and the propriety of Federal aid in such construction, the relation of the ultimate cost of constructing and maintaining the works to the public interest and to the public necessity for the works, and the adequacy of the provisions made or proposed by the applicant for such Federal financial aid for assuring proper and efficient operation and maintenance of the treatment works after completion of the construction thereof. The sums appropriated pursuant to subsection (d) for any fiscal year shall be allotted by the Secretary from time to time, in accordance with regulations, as follows: (1) 50 per centum of such sums in the ratio that the

population of each State bears to the population of all the States, and (2) 50 per centum of such sums in the ratio that the urban population of each State bears to the urban population of all the States. Sums allotted to a State under the preceding sentence which are not obligated within six months following the end of the fiscal year for which they were allotted because of a lack of projects which have been approved by the State water pollution control agency under subsection (b) (1) of this section and certified under subsection (b) (4) of this section, shall be reallotted by the Secretary, on such basis as he determines to be reasonable and equitable and in accordance with regulations promulgated by him, to States having projects approved under this section for which grants have not been made because of lack of funds: Provided, however, That whenever a State has funds subject to reallocation and the Secretary finds that the need for a project in a community in such State is due in part to any Federal institution or Federal construction activity, he may, prior to such reallocation, make an additional grant with respect to such project which will in his judgment reflect an equitable contribution for the need caused by such Federal institution or activity. Any sum made available to a State by reallotment under the preceding sentence shall be in addition to any funds otherwise allotted to such State under this Act. The allotments of a State under the second and third sentences of this subsection shall be available, in accordance with the provisions of this section, for payments with respect to projects in such State which have been approved under this section, except that in the case of any project constructed in such State after June 30, 1965, which meets the requirements for assistance under this section but was constructed without such assistance, such allotments shall also be available for payments in reimbursement of State or local funds used for such project to the extent that assistance could have been provided under this section if such project had been approved pursuant to this section and funds available. For purposes of this section, population, including urban population, shall be determined on the basis of the latest decennial census for which figures are available, as certi fied by the Secretary of Commerce."

SEC. 2. Subsection (d) of section 6 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act is amended by striking out the colon preceding the word “Provided" and all after such colon to the period at the end of such subsection.

SEC. 3. The amendments made by this Act shall be effective after June 30, 1965.

A BILL To amend the Federal Water Pollution Control Act in order to establish a program to decrease water pollution by synthetic detergents

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Federal Water Pollution Control Act is amended by redesignating sections 12, 13, and 14 as sections 13, 14, and 15, respectively, and by inserting before such sections a new section as follows:

"SYNTHETIC DETERGENTS

"SEC. 12. (a) The Congress finds that the surface and underground waters in the United States have been polluted through the ever-increasing discharge into such waters of synthetic detergents which decompose slowly or do not decompose at all. The Congress further finds that to prevent the further pollution of such waters in the public interest it is necessary to assure that the composition of detergents which may eventually be discharged into such waters and which are offered for introduction or delivery into interstate commerce in the United States or imported into the United States will not cause or contribute to such pollution.

"(b) The Secretary shall encourage the continued efforts to develop detergents which will decompose quickly and completely after use and to this end shall maintain liaison with the manufacturers of detergents and of products used in the manufacture of detergents, including surfactant material derived from natural sources such as animal fat and plant and animal oils as well as basic materials derived from synthetic sources.

"(c) The Secretary shall establish standards of biodegradability which must be met by surfactants used in household detergents, industrial cleaners, shampoos, and similar products, according to procedures prescribed herein.

(d) (1) For the purpose of developing these standards, the Secretary shall appoint a technical committee whose membership shall consist of an equal

number of representatives of (A) the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, (B) the soap and detergent manufacturing industry, and (C) independent and recognized consultants engaged in the field of detergent evaluation and testing.

"(2) Members of such technical committee who are not regular full-time employees of the United States shall, while attending meetings of such committee or otherwise engaged on business of such committee, be entitled to receive compensation at a rate fixed by the Secretary, but not exceeding $100 per diem, including traveltime, and, while so serving away from their homes or regular places of business, they may be allowed travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence, as authorized by section 5 of the Administrative Expenses Act of 1946 (5 U.S.C. 73b-2) for persons in the Government service employed intermittently.

"(e) The standards of decomposability recommended by such committee shall be based on tests which truly simulate the operation of (1) municipal sewage treatment plants employing biological oxidation processes such as the continuous activated sludge process with a practical and typical aeration time in order to predict the concentration of undegraded detergent which would enter a water stream receiving the effluent from a municipal sewage treatment plant; and (2) household waste treatment units employing a biological treatment process such as a septic tank with a practical and typical retention time in order to predict the concentration of undegrated detergent which would enter ground water formations from a septic tank treating household waste. Such tests shall be conducted on the final formulation supplied to the consumer as liquid or solid detergent.

"(f) There is authorized to be appropriated, not to exceed $250,000, to the Secretary for the purpose of making arrangements, by contract, grant, or otherwise, for such tests to be carried out under the direction of such technical committee.

"(g) on or before January 1, 1967, the Secretary shall (1) report to the Congress on measures taken toward the resolution of the detergent pollution problem including the development of the prescribed tests and standards and the development and manufacture of new types of detergents which affect this problem, and (2) make recommendations for additional legislation, if necessary, to regulate the composition of detergents in order to prevent, control and abate pollution resulting from their manufacture, sale, and use.

"(h) When such technical committee has recommended standards of decomposability and has certified to the Secretary that a detergent or detergents conforming to the recommended standards are generally available to the manufacturers of detergents, the Secretary may, if he concurs in the findings of the committee and, after providing an appropriate opportunity for comments on such proposed standards of decomposability, promulgate such standards and establish such rules and regulations as are necessary to prevent the transportation or sale in interstate commerce of detergents not meeting the standards of decomposability. Such rules and regulations shall take effect on July 1, 1967, or six months after the issuance of such regulations, whichever is later.

"(i) (1) The Secretary and the Secretary of the Treasury shall jointly promulgate rules and regulations that prohibit the importation of any detergent or detergents which fail to meet the standards of decomposability as established herein.

"(2) Any person who willfully violates any provision of rules and regulations established pursuant to this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be subject for the first offense to a fine of not more than $500, and for any subsequent offense to a fine of not more than $2,000.

"(j) All action taken under this section for the adortion of standards and the promulgation of rules and regulations shall be taken in conformity with the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act."

SHORT TITLE

SECTION 1. This Act may be cited as the "Navigable Waters Pollution Control Act of 1965".

STATEMENT OF POLICY

SEC. 2. The Congress finds that the waters of the Great Lakes and of the harbors and ports on such lakes, and other navigable waters of the United States constitute an irreplaceable natural resource of incalculable value to the Nation now and in the future; and that these waters are being polluted by oil, sewage, and refuse of every kind discharged or dumped by vessels plying them. The Congress further finds that to abate and prevent such pollution in the public interest, it is necessary that the disposal by vessels of oil, sewage, and refuse on these waters be controlled by forbidding it to the greatest practical extent, by establishing standards for treatment before disposal, and by designating points and places where disposal may take place.
